I Trapped The Devil

Rick: I enjoyed this when it was a Twilight Zone episode (“The Howling Man”). It’s a perfect story to tell in twenty-five minutes. It’ll be a chore at feature length. Pass.

Jen: So is it really the devil? Or was the devil inside us all along? I guess I’ll rely on Wikipedia to let me know.

AJ:

Hesburgh

Loren: Because of the way audio was recorded in the 60s everyone sounds the same. That’s all I got. This guy seemed like a great person, but that’s a lot of power for one man.

RDT:

Rick: Clearly this man led a remarkable, admirable life, but I feel like the trailer gave me everything I needed to know about him in two minutes.

Jen: Oh I’m totally down for this doc!

AJ:

Body at Brighton Rock

Loren: If it’s any good it’ll make it into a horrorfest down the road. If it’s not, whelp, see ya never.

RDT:

Rick: It’s like the stalk-and-slash version of Firewatch. It’s hard to do something like this and not have it feel tropey, but hopefully being written and helmed by a woman yields a fresher take.

Jen: I wasn’t scared by this trailer at all, which isn’t a good sign for this type of film. I don’t get a lot of charism off the star so maybe that’s the problem?

AJ:

Demon Eye

Loren: It’s a horror movie, but you know, more Scottish and boring.

RDT:

Rick: I snort-laughed more than a few times while watching that trailer. It is not a comedy.

Jen: That… does not look good.

AJ:

TV/Streaming

NETFLIX

I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson

Loren: I hate that trailer but it’s made by and gotten good reviews from comedians I respect. I may give it a shot even though, again, I hate that trailer.

RDT:

Rick: I didn’t even make it to the end of the trailer. Why is there so much goddamn yelling? Did I miss something? Are things funnier if they’re shouted?

Jen: See above, there really is a LOT of yelling.

AJ:

BONDiNG

Loren: I don’t know that looks kinda boring if you ask me.

RDT:

Rick: Well, I know what RDT’s watching this weekend.

Jen: Wait, are you saying RDT is into BDSM? No judgement, I just didn’t know.

AJ

Chambers

Loren: OH I GET IT! Chambers, like in your heart. Also this is some Edgar Allen Poe shit for the millennial audience. I think I’m all set.

RDT: Too much tv.

Rick: This reminds me of the pulpy horror novels I used to read, so much so I decided to see if it was based on one (it’s not). Instead I discovered this is a ten episode series. This is a two hour movie at best. There’s no way there’s ten hours of story here. I was super into this as a movie, too. Oh well.

Jen: Once again, I find myself echoing Rick. I would have watched this movie, but ten episodes? I feel some binge bloat there. The beauty of streaming is you can tell your story in however many episodes you want, why do they always pick 10?

AJ:

Street Food

Loren: Netflix does “Reality” better than most. If I’m searching for something in this vein I’ll check it out.

RDT: Go read what Jen said.

Rick: There’s definitely an audience for this, but I just don’t care about cooking shows of any stripe.

Jen: This looks like a great combo of cooking show and doc. I’m down to check it out.

AJ:

HBO

The 2019 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony

Loren: I want to care about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame but I just kinda don’t. It’s seemed to lose any credibility it had over the years.

RDT:

Rick: I’ll happily check out the list of inductees when it drops. Also, if Def Leppard doesn’t make it in I’m calling bullshit on the whole thing.

Jen: This looks like a lot of fun, if Janet Jackson and Janelle Monae perform together who am I to say no?

AJ:

YOUTUBE

Cobra Kai Season 2

Loren: I was SHOCKED that the first season of this was so good. I’m definitely down for binging all the episodes that dropped on Tuesday.

RDT:

Rick: No matter how much RDT tries to convince me to watch, I will never care about this show.

Jen: I’ve been seeing press for this everywhere – are we in the midst of a Macchissance?

AJ: I only care about Endgame this weekend. In case I haven’t made that clear.

So that’s your upcoming weekend in review. Let us know what you saw, liked and/or hated.

One thought on “Weekend Watch – 04/26/19”

The hall of fame hasn’t been relevant for at least 20 years, if not 30.

My weekend will be sandwiched between End Game and Game of Thrones. In between, I will definitely be watching cooking shows. The Netflix ones have (mostly*) all been great – especially Chef’s Table. We’ll see about Street Food. (*Final Table is extremely terrible)

‘Body at Brighton Rock’ is a movie by a woman with my name, with my street name in the title. Checking my Social Security data now.
